Massive protests and violence erupted in Pakistan-occupied Jammu Kashmir (PoJK) over the Chinese move to build a 33-kilometer road on Friday.
Talking to the media, Amjad Ayub Mirza, an exiled activist from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) informed that China is building a 33-kilometer road from Yarkand to PoJK to move its artillery and military personnel in the region. China is now building a road from Yarkand of 33 km wide enough to bring its artillery, military and personnel. Things are gearing up in a precarious way, but PoJK people have risen up to the occasion. There will be more protests in PoJK, and I think Pakistan has lost in PoJK totally, said Mirza in the interview to the media.

Protests in PoK
Given the rising inflation and lack of essential goods, massive civil unrest has emerged in many of the regions of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir or the PoK. People are also protesting against the Pakistan government’s treatment of keeping PoK people deprived of basic commodities.
Videos and images of people demanding a reduction in the prices of flour from the streets of PoK have been received. Locals revealed that the prices of flour have risen to Rs 500/kg in a month’s time. Locals also said that these protests in PoK had been happening since November but at weren’t as massive. The protests, however, picked pace from the start of this week.
